AI Summary

This bill amends chapter 118E of the General Laws to require fingerprint-based background checks of all persons regularly on the premises of a nursing home or long-term care facility with the potential for unsupervised contact with elderly persons. The fingerprints will be submitted to the state police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for criminal history checks. Employers will be required to pay a fee to offset the costs of the background check system, which will be deposited into a Fingerprint-Based Background Check Trust Fund. The Department of Criminal Justice Information Services will disseminate the results of the background checks to the Department of Mental Health to determine the suitability of current and prospective employees in any Department-licensed or -funded program, as well as any individuals with the potential for unsupervised contact with elderly persons.
